Description:

  • Purpose
    This app is capable of creating taylor diagram for facilitating the comparative assessment of different models.
  • Installation
    Download the file "Taylor Diagram.opx", and then drag-and-drop onto the Origin workspace. An icon will appear in the Apps gallery window.
  • Operation
    Activate a worksheet with reference data selected, then click the app icon in the Apps gallery window, then a dialog will be brought up, and then choose test data, and set correlation coefficient range, and click OK button to create Taylor diagram.
  • Dialog Settings:
  1. Reference Data: Specify reference data for comparison.
  2. Test Data: Specify test data of different models, and will compare with reference data.
  3. Correlation Coefficient Range: Specify the range of correlation coefficient, and it can be Auto, 0, 1, or -1, 1. If Auto, it will be depend on the result of correlation coefficient.
  4. Reference Line: Set Color, Thickness and Style for reference line.
  5. Labels for RMS Concentric Circles: If to specify labels for RMS concentric circles.
  6. Labels from Column: If checked, specified labels are from column, otherwise, type labels in Labels (Separated by |) control, and separate each label by "|".
  7. Labels (Seperated by |): The specified labels.
  8. Label Column: Specify the column where the labels are from.
  9. Output Range: Where to output the result data.

Updates:

1/10/2024, v1.3, support for missing value
7/18/2023, v1.2, fix bug of too many contours
12/29/2020, v1.1, features for customizing reference line, concentric circle label, rescale according to data

Reviews and Comments:

04/27/2026OriginLabHi kyinac,
Radial Axis's Scale is calculated based on data, the taylor diagram will become out of shape if you change it.
OriginLab Tech Support

04/24/2026kyinacHow to adjust the radius and coordiantes of the concentric circles? If changing the axis of the standard deviation, e.g from 0-2 changing to 1-2, then the concentric circles in the figure will become a total mess.

06/29/2025geriivery interesting app for preparing graphics while constructing publishing articles

02/26/2025yangyawen想深入了解一下本软件绘制泰勒图所利用的公式

01/07/2025jinhuizhengReally useful!

12/26/2024hcitakogluVery nice graphics

12/26/2024OriginLabHi smy1027,
If you want to change the angular scale's from&to, you can double click at the tick label to open Axis dialog and go to Scale tab and change the settings. You need to change:
1. the Units from Degrees to Custom, and set Circle Start/End Value. These two value are calculated by a mapping formular to map [-1,1] to your data range
2. change From/To
3. change Major Ticks' Position

12/25/2024smy1027Hello! Because the correlation coefficients of my data are all very large, above 0.9, but I want to compare their relationships. Can the range of correlation coefficients on the circular scale be manually adjusted (i.e. while keeping the circular shape or a quarter-circle, the starting value is not 0 but set by myself)?

10/14/2024OriginLabHi, Buwen

The standard deviation of reference data is calculated from data. I am afraid that Origin does not support manually setting it to a specific value.

10/01/2024BuwenHi,Can I set the standard deviation of reference data to 1? Maybe like the Normalization? I don't know how to do. Please help me.

12/08/2023yonasas2003Very nice app. It would be good to add some additional flexibility

07/13/2023OriginLabHi 14398768, could you please send us your *.opju file and tell me more details, like what you want to edit? Our R&D team would like to help you solve the issue.

07/13/202314398768How to control or edit manually the row and theta for radius manually instead of automatically. I have a larger dataset to compare, so it is taking so much time to plot the Taylor diagram.

09/08/2022OriginLabHi, rasoolzadeh

The app does not support skill score yet. The requirement is reported in the bug-tracking database. We will improve it in the future

After drawing Taylor Diagram how I can find Skill score?

08/22/2022OriginLabHi 202130,

After plotting the Taylor Diagram, there is a TaylorDiagramData worksheet appended to the source workbook. Please find “Dataset Identifier” column (should be col(J)) in it, right click and “Set As Categorical”. Then you can map symbol shape and color in the Plot Details dialog. That is,
1. Double click on test data point to open Plot Details dialog.
2. On the Symbol tab, enable “Custom Construction” checkbox and then select col(“Dataset Identifier”) from “Shape” drop-down list. This will change symbol shapes by different models.
3. One the Symbol tab, select col(“Dataset Identifier”) from “Symbol Color” drop-down list. This will change symbol color by different models.
To update the legend to show different models,
right click on the legend and select context menu Legend: Categorical Values. In the dialog that opens, check all elements and click OK.

08/19/2022202130Nice to see your response. maybe I could not convey my message clearly. Like in the test dataset (model dataset) symbol should be different. because I have five model datasets so we require a different symbol for each one and in the legend should appear the name of the model dataset. For more clarification please see the attached link.

I hope this link can assist you to understand and update "Taylor Diagram". Thanks

08/19/2022OriginLabHi 202130,

This app only provides the style controls for reference lines; for test data, please double-click the scatters to open the Symbol tab of Plot Details dialog.

08/19/2022202130Good project but require more modification for example test data symbol and color and legend should updates for this diagram.

10/04/2021jitendra.rajput40It is better to provide a facility to change the colour and symbols along with a legend for models instead for standard devation.

11/30/2020markkramerVery nice app. It would be good to add some additional flexibility like: (1) be able to increase reference line thickness, (2) be able to add labels for RMS concentric circles emanating from the reference point, (3) auto-scale the standard deviation based on data [at the moment its default is 0-50, with ticks every 10 units]. For my data, the SD was around 4 units, so the data were "squashed" into the corner due to scale of x- and y-axes.
